Kevin’s brother, Jorge, said the family is angry and wants the driver to be held responsible.

The family said Kevin was chasing the family dog Saturday night. Around 8:00 p.m., he ran into the street and got hit. Omaha police officers said the driver stopped briefly, but then drove away.

“He left him all alone,” Maravilla said. “He hit him, and didn’t care, and didn’t help him and ran away.”

Maravilla calls the crime careless and cowardly. She’s grateful her son isn’t more seriously hurt.

Officers are asking for the public’s help in locating the suspect and vehicle. They’re looking for a dark-colored Chevy Impala or Monte Carlo. It will most likely have damage on the front, on the driver’s side.
